DEVON BEACH STATION

Felicity, our host, was very kind and helpful. Everything went really smoothly. Location was excellent for centre and beach front. Beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was there, including cleaning products (although there was no dishwasher tablets) but there were rubber gloves which I didn't realise until after I washed up! There was no problem parking outside and the area was very quiet which was ideal at night in the heat (with windows open) and young ones.

Although the place was very clean, I think the carpets could do with a clean. They didn't look dirty but walking round bare foot our feet got very dirty. Probably not all people take their shoes off indoors, but we always do.

An ideal size for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. Location is brilliant for the town/beach/station. The outside area was a bonus for us in the hit weather to be able to have a bbq

There are a few element of the house that need some pretty major work such as the rear flat roof and fencing in the garden. Some general modernising with decoration, bathroom facilities and mattress in the down stairs bedroom. A trim of the front garden also needed to help match the picture in Google image when finding the property. Overall still a great stay and we’d happily return

The initial view was slightly alarming as the from garden is well overgrown, however once inside everything was good.

The location was ideal for visiting places. Steam Train Station, shops and a beach very close indeed. We would recommend a visit to Brixham which is really pretty and the Steam Train which you can get on just 2 minutes walk from this house. We saw seals in the sea. We enjoyed nearby Paignton Zoo and Goodrington Sands. All easily accessible from this house. There are pubs and restaurants and souvenir shops etc very close by. The beds in the house were firm but quite comfortable with fresh clean bedding and soft clean carpets. A very generous welcome box was kindly left for us and much enjoyed. The lounge was clean and comfy. Wifi was good. Dishwasher, including cleaning products etc were useful to have too.

The parking situation is difficult and there are some abandoned buildings and quite a bit of graffiti at either end of the street. Our main upset was that there is in fact only one bathroom as what is listed as 2 bathrooms included a room with only a toilet but no sink or bath or shower. Kitchen and bathroom needs complete refurbishment and are functional at best. Garden is really just a small concrete area and needs some plants and work in general to make it useable as an outdoor area so we did not use this.
